    I iz attempting a chicken dhansak for the first time in many years, dunno why that iz. So means I can't quite remember my recipe from when I did it frequently. Will see how it goes. Smelling good so far.

    Why you gone all gangsta Rasta 'Loon?

    Coz it iz summer time, or daylight saving time, or somesuch.

    And almost 7.30pm and the woodburner is not on. Yet. Forecasting -3 here overnight. The heat source will indeed go on. And no toms yet inhabit the New Greenhouse Project.

    Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
    Does Mrs S O'C feel the same and if so, are you both as noisy as 2 skeletons screwing on a corrugated roof?

    Venison steak last night. Not had it for a while. Plenty of seasoning, garlic, rosemary, butter. Meh, might be better in a stew.

    Mrs S O’C has a great figure but no matter how slim she looks, she’s still fat apparently. All compliments are met with a sympathetic smile which means ‘you’re sweet but you don’t know what you’re talking about.’ Does my head in. And she hates her boobs, they’re too big 🤦‍♂️

    It's the impossible square that can't be circled or something like that.

    Re.: Venison. Never took to it personally.
    Now, if Webboo could send me that Duck...

    Just a thought Seano, if you created a poll on here and we all vote to support your view, you could show her the results and it might cheer her up a bit :p Clearly pics would be needed so we can decide.

    Todays lunch: Cream of Celeriac soup followed by left over Apple Strudel and ice cream.
    It's bucketing down. Might have a snooze.

    Nope. It's you turn.

    We just celebrated 25 years together and I was being called a paedo in the restaurant.
    I said 'Yes but she is 39'.

    Have you ever tried homemade kedgeree? There is a good Simon Hopkinson recipe for it.

    Always found venison underwhelming. The haunch, slow braised seems to work best, loin and steak always a bit tasteless.

    Kedgeree... now that's something I haven't had for eons.

    1983 iirc. Seriously, honest.

    My attempts at Kedgeree were met with a poor reception. My dad used to make a decent version though.

    As chief cook and bottle washer, this is entirely deflating. Sometimes, it's like being stabbed through the heart.
    So you have the continual dilemma of wanting to try new things and avoid the repetitive and the chance that you are surrounded by grumpy (fussy) individuals.

    about sums it up. one child doesn't do cheese or creamy sauce, the other doesn't like potatoes, is fussy about certain types of meat and makes a point of leaving something on the plate. I try not to take the failures to heart though and will hold my hands up to odd disaster. Missus is generally appreciative and will eat most recipes I try, even if they're not very nice.

    Shorty is the fussy one*. Tricky's easy. Mrs P is quite willing to try anything just make sure it ain't too dry.
    Beans the cat doesn't like fish or poultry or anything in jelly. Little f*cker.

    *Of the soups. we've tried:

    Carrot and coriander
    Chicken and rice
    Broccoli and stilton
    Cream of mushroom
    Chunky vegetable
    Cream of Celeriac
    Sweet potato (so Mrs P reminded me)
    Cream of vegetable...

    All home made. Nope "I like tomato soup".
    Tomorrow; Cauliflower (with onions, potato and crème fraiche). You never know.

    Glad I'm not fussy. Mrs. 666 makes some good 'uns but she also has a few off days. It keeps her occupied, mind which is useful when you're unemployed :)

    No1 son doesn’t like soup. Best I’ve made were garlic soup which was surprisingly good and Cullen Skink, although neither is particularly kid friendly.
